I think urban was referring to the flashback life stories of characters which are in both Lost and OITNB. But yea, besides that they couldn't be any more dissimilar.

by RealGunner Fri Oct 14, 2016 8:16 pm

I couldn't get into OITNB for some reason. Eventhough I am a sucker for prison shows. Might give another go.

by urbaNRoots Fri Oct 14, 2016 8:22 pm

It depends on your definition of similar.

Similar as in a character-driven show that has a group of people with different personalities stuck in a place together = OITNB

Similarly The Walking Dead with all the surviving day by day they have going on.

The Leftovers for the otherworldly mystical stuff.

If you have better recommendations then you're encouraged to post them.

Once Upon a Time.

Lost......with a darker twist on Disney and fairytale characters.

I caught up with Supernatural a couple months back after dropping it last season. Was pretty good as usual.

New season just started, I'm down ffs.

by RealGunner Sat Oct 15, 2016 2:17 am

I have 2-3 seasons to catch up but that's too much. Wish they release it on netflix UK

by Firenze Sat Oct 15, 2016 2:22 am

I usually end up watching it about half a season, getting bored and stopping, then watching it in bulk over the summer. I hope they have some new ideas for this season. Bit bored of angels and demons, always liked the monster episodes the most but they've left those behind mostly. I understand why. I say it every year but I can't believe how long it's been on TV, crazy. Remember watching it in school ffs.

I might pick up that show The Killing from a few years ago. Hear the first season was really good. I want a dark crime mystery/cop type show atm. Think McAgger was a fan of that

You can try this and let me know how it is

Saw the first 2 seasons. It gets meh after season 1.

Have you seen Fringe Firenze?

It's dark and humorous at the same time, it's fast paced, it's thought provoking. It blows your mind in some cliff hangers. Every season ends strong. Sci Fi detective show at its best.

Starts out episodic in the first half of season 1 and then becomes serialized in the second half of the season and for the rest of the show.

I watched the first season of Fringe when it was airing and some of S2 I think, liked it but fell behind and never caught up because it had quite a lot of eps hmm

will watch it some day

Replace the guys in Supernatural and boom you have a great TV show, Anything with huge girl following is automatically not good enough for guys in this world smh

The concept of the show is absolutely outstanding. That said, I liked the first episode of season 12.

Holy shit The Americans is a amazing show, just finished season 1.

by RealGunner Mon Oct 17, 2016 2:19 am

BC was lowkey collecting an audience on GL for a while for that show

by Pedram Mon Oct 17, 2016 2:33 am

It can be a hard show to get into because it starts slow, i watched 7 episodes of it 2 months ago and then gave it a break, the family drama was too much for me and it can be a bit depressing at times but once you get past some character building everything gets better.

by McAgger Mon Oct 17, 2016 3:01 am

Pedram go to the main thread for the show. Keri Russel is amazing :bow:

by McLewis Mon Oct 17, 2016 12:04 pm

The Americans is in the same place Homeland is for me. I have no appetite for shows like that, despite how good they are supposedly. I only have enough attention for one spy drama at a time and right now that's the Blacklist.

by McLewis Mon Oct 17, 2016 12:49 pm

Ash vs Evil Dead is back and just as good as the first season.

The morgue scene Proud

.....I think men all over this country who convinced their wives to watch this show just basically got extra space on the couch after that scene. Ridiculous stuff.

Is it really worth it though? Looks kinda like something a teen girl would rather watch (I have seen only a brief 2 min trailer).

A lot deeper than a 2 min trailer honestly. It's in its 6th season and still going fairly strong.

Does it have moments that are meant for teen girls? Yup. Does it have deliciously dark moments that I suit me? Yup.

RG you've watched Seinfeld? How have you never told me. Goat sitcom indeed.

by RealGunner Tue Oct 18, 2016 10:44 pm

Not all of it. First few seasons then I got busy with Uni so forgot.

Also that was an old opinion based on the quality of it. Even now Seinfeld is probably the best made sitcom and has inspired nearly every sitcom that came after it.

But I am not sure it's my favourite now. I prefer HIMYM, Arrested development and Inbetweeners over it.

by McLewis Tue Oct 18, 2016 10:49 pm

Never watched Seinfeld or Friends.

Probably won't either. Neither show interests me.

by McAgger Tue Oct 18, 2016 11:00 pm

Neal oh boy you've missed out on a lifetime of great quotes and 2 of the best TV characters of all time in Costanza and Kramer.

Definitely the goat sitcom and the main reason why Friends and HIMYM were so popular.

by M99 Tue Oct 18, 2016 11:15 pm

Can't believe I missed out on The Office (UK). David Brent is GOAT rofl

Martin Freeman has been amazing in everything I've seen him at.
